Holbrook Inducted Into Bachman Honor Society

2018 Apr 10

William Holbrook, of Aiken, SC, was inducted into the Bachman Honor Society at the 2018 Newberry College Awards Convocation. The Bachman Honor Society was founded on March 15, 1962 by a group of faculty who were members of Phi Beta Kappa and others who were deeply comitted to fostering high standards of scholarship. The society is named for the Reverend John Bachman, churchman and scholar, and the main guiding force in founding Newberry College.

Each year the Society inducts new members from the top eight percent of the senior class. This year thirteen seniors have been named Bachman Honor Scholars. Along with their membership certificate, inductees into the Society will receive Scarlet and Gray honor cords to be worn at commencement, designating them as Bachman Honor Scholars.

Holbrook, a Chemistry major, has been on the Dean's List and SAC Comissioner's Honor Roll every semester. During the Fall Honors Convocation, he was inducted into the Newberry College Who's Who. He is a member of the football team, the National Society of Leadership and Success and the American Chemical Society.

He has completed two internships with Savannah River Nuclear Solutions at the Savannah River Site as an analytical laboratory intern.

Holbrook is on the leadership team of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and has participated in three out-reach programs to Disciple's Village in Haiti where he taught the Bible and English. While there, he helped to build two church/school buildings.

After graduation, he will attend graduate school for biochemistry or pursue a job in analytical laboratory.
